LEXINGTON, Ky. — The city's [Division of Waste Management will distribute free mulch to Lexington residents on Saturday, April 18](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/news/spring-mulch-giveaway-saturday-april-18), from 8 a.m. to noon or until supplies run out at 1631 Old Frankfort Pike.

Residents should enter the site via Jimmie Campbell Drive and follow posted signage to the pickup location. [The mulch, limited to one pickup truck load per person, comes from yard waste collected by the city over the past several months](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/living/waste-collection/mulch-giveaway) and represents part of Lexington's ongoing effort to divert waste from landfills through composting.

[A self-serve area will be available for residents picking up smaller amounts of mulch, though those self-loading will be limited to a 10-minute loading time due to demand](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/living/waste-collection/mulch-giveaway). Those choosing to self-load must bring their own shovels, bags and other supplies, as [the city does not provide tools or bags](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/living/waste-collection/mulch-giveaway).

[The event is restricted to Fayette County residents only, who must bring a driver's license with a Lexington address](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/living/waste-collection/mulch-giveaway). [As part of the city's waste management program, Lexington residents can place yard waste in a gray cart for weekly collection](https://www.lexingtonky.gov/living/waste-collection), which feeds into the city's composting operations.

For more information, residents can call LexCall at 311 or (859) 425-2255.
